Border workers start job action as contract negotiations continue: union
OTTAWA, ONT. — There are delays of more than 90-minutes at several U-S border crossings today as Canada Border Services Agency employees stage a work-to-rule campaign.
Guards are following procedures to the letter as part of a job action that began this morning. The C-B-S-A is asking travellers to be patient.
The union representing 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency workers says some job actions began Friday as bargaining with the government continued.
“Our bargaining team representing CBSA employees has been in mediation with CBSA and Treasury all night and through to this morning, and we’re giving them a bit more time to negotiate at the table,” the Public Service Alliance of Canada and its Customs and Immigration Union said in a Friday morning statement.
